Dev Protocol is an innovative project that utilizes blockchain to offer software developers a safe place to enhance their professional reputation. Devised by Codementor, which is an on demand software developer marketplace and virtual mentoring platform, Dev Protocol aims to level the industry playing field.

"It can be taken from one job to the next, and we think it will make software development a more meritocratic field, whether they reside away from or in Silicon Valley" said Codementor's CEO Weiting Liu. Liu also founded the company and has worked with Techstars and Y Combinator, however lots of able software developers get overlooked for roles, just because they have no famous companies mentioned on their CV.
